[VPAAEtal] Call For Core Curriculum Course Proposals

[Academic Affairs]

The University Core Curriculum committee is tasked with the implementation of core curriculum guidelines, as outlined by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.  This committee now certifies that our existing core curriculum adheres to coordinating board standards, and also has the ability to approve new courses to become part of the university's general education requirements.

Departments interested in proposing a course to be included in the core curriculum will need to submit a proposal describing the course, its intended purpose, and the Foundational Component Area into which it would be placed.  Proposals must include a draft syllabus showing both learning outcomes for the course and how the Core Objectives for the Foundational component Area will be met.  Syllabi should provide examples of course content and assignments that demonstrate how  the requirements of the selected component area will be met.

The proposal form is attached to this email, and must be submitted to the Core Curriculum Committee Chair, Dr. Derrick McKisick, no later than 5PM on September 17, 2021.  The committee will approve the proposal, refuse the proposal, or send back to the department for revisions.

The submitting department will need to enter the relevant course information into Course Leaf, meeting deadlines established by the Registrar's Office.

If approved, the course will be open to students as part of the core curriculum for the fall 2022 semester and beyond.
